I decided to collect all the German B2 topics to discuss in one place. These could be tasks for written expression of opinion (Forumsbeitrag) in Goethe B2, oral discussions in Goethe B2 or Telc B2 Allgemein. Analysis of the topics shows that these are always some problematic themes taken from the news. That is, if you regularly look at the news, you can make a list of possible topics for yourself.
C1 level is indicated because some topics can be used in both places, there is no unambiguous assignment of certain topics to a certain level, you can simply complicate/simplify the task. C1 tends to cover a broader topic and to more “acute” problems.
The topic is in the process of being written. Last updated – 22.12.2024

German B2 level tests
We are starting to collect topics for the German B2 test. First, let’s see what requirements are set by the organizations that conduct these tests. Today, most people take Telc B2 + Beruf (after the courses paid for by Arbeitsamt), much less often Telc B2 Allgemein and Goethe B2. Each of the tests has its pros and cons.
The topic is being updated. (UPD 11.10)
